feelings children may have as they begin to realize that growing up means more
than getting taller. He insists on coming to terms with change in his own way.
Playful and original!

This book never talks down to children, but is right
there with the child’s need to have some self-leadership in coping with life
changes.—Midwest Book Review

Beautifully told and sweetly illustrated...a treasure for
children young and old.
